When ALA with auto stop is on, it monitors the area
in front of the vehicle with the multipurpose camera
mounted at the top of the windshield. Keep the
windshield clean and unobstructed in the area of the
camera.
The LDW/LDP function of ALA detects lane markings
on the road surface, warns the driver they may be
leaving their lane unintentionally, and, if a driver does
not respond to these warnings, moves the vehicle
back into the center of the lane. If the driver’s
preferred lane position is other than ’center,’ LKA will
move the vehicle into the requested lane position
after the LDP intervention is complete.
The LKA function of ALA uses micro-steering
adjustments to keep the vehicle in the driver’s
preferred lane position. It also monitor’s the driver’s
steering, and if it senses the driver’s hand’s have
been removed, cautions the driver to return their
hands to the steering wheel.
Auto stop works with LKA to smoothly bring the
vehicle to a safe stop after LKA has registered that
the driver has had their hands off the steering wheel
for 60 seconds. Auto stop works to increase the
safety of all road users in the case of an
incapacitated driver.
Active Lane Assist Activation
Conditions
ALA is activated each time the vehicle is turned on.
The LDW/LDP component of ALA is ready to issue
warnings and initiate actions as soon as the vehicle
reaches 37 mph (60 km/h) and both lane lines are
identified and show on the driver display as solid
lane markings. LDP requires both lane lines to be
identifiable to function; LDW only requires one lane
line to function.
LKA is ready to issue warnings and initiate actions
when cruise control is active and when the vehicle is
driving forward at approximately 15-20 mph (24-32
km/h).
The status of LKA is shown by the color and design
of the steering wheel telltales on the driver display
screen.
•
Blue hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on and
actively steering.
•
Grey hands-on steering wheel: LKA is on but
inactive (due to glare, snow, bad lane lines,
etc.).
•
Red hands-on steering wheel: auto stop is
active.
•
Amber steering wheel with exclamation point:
There is an problem with the electro-hydraulic
power steering system which deactivates LKA.
•
Red steering wheel with exclamation point:
There is an error with the adaptive power
steering (APS) which deactivates LKA or an
error with LKA.
•
No steering wheel icon: LKA is off or
deactivated.
See Fig. 5.16 for an example of an LKA status
telltale in the driver display.
Auto stop initiates at the end of the LKA hands-on
warning cascade and is only activated when LKA is
active.
Active Lane Assist Functions and
Warnings
ALA works to keep the vehicle within the lane, issues
warnings when a driver takes their hands off the
steering wheel, and if necessary intervenes to bring
the vehicle to a safe stop.
With the driver’s hands on the steering wheel, the
LKA feature of ALA engages in micro-steering
adjustments to offset side winds, lateral road
inclination, and other environmental forces to keep
the vehicle in the driver’s preferred lane position. The
preferred lane position can be set by selecting ’Quick
Access’ > ’Follow Distance/Lane Position.’ Options
include: offset to the right, offset to the left, or center.
The default lane position is center.
If the micro-steering of LKA cannot compensate for
the sideways movement of the vehicle and the
vehicle crosses over the lane markings with no turn
signal activation, LDW issues a warning as follows:
•
The exceeded lane markings are shown in red
on the driver display screen.
•
The volume of the audio equipment and/or
hands-free system is muted.
•
A warning rumble strip sound is broadcast from
the speaker on the side of the exceeded lane
markings.
If the driver does not steer the vehicle back into the
lane or activate a turn signal, a warning notification
appears on the driver display and LDP intervenes.
An acoustic warning sounds while LDP guides the
vehicle back into the center of the lane.
